Reborn in another world, the boss loves me to the core

"Luming is here, come in quickly, your uncle Xu has set up the chessboard early in the morning and is waiting for you."

Huo Li felt a little helpless in his heart. He smiled and said politely, "Aunt Chen, I wish you a happy new year."

Su Xian handed over the New Year's greetings he had brought and followed suit.

"Okay, Happy New Year. It's enough if you're here. Bring whatever gifts you want." Aunt Chen took it with a smile.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. It's not worth much." Huo Li said.

"This little girl must be Su Xian, right? She was still a tiny thing when I last saw you, but in the blink of an eye you have grown up so big. How old are you this year?"

Su Xian was really flustered, not because she was unfamiliar with him, but because the person in front of her was too familiar, which made her doubt her eyes for a moment. She had seen him on TV countless times, he was elegant, dignified, graceful, kind and amiable.

Yesterday the news was still showing the First Lady visiting and comforting the elderly and widowed.

"I'll be twenty soon." Su Xian calmed himself down and replied obediently.

"Good boy, I'm making dumplings, can you help me?" Aunt Chen said with a smile.

Of course Su Xian accepted the advice readily.

"I have a daughter who is about your age. She just happened to go out playing with her friends. Otherwise, you would have a lot of topics to talk about. It must be boring to have you accompany me to make dumplings." Aunt Chen rolled out the dumpling wrappers.

"No, I just didn't wrap it well." Su Xian said in a low voice, feeling a little embarrassed as he looked at the dumplings that were tilted all over his hands.

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's all the same filling when you eat it. The appearance is not that important."

Su Xian nodded.

"I've learned about the Children's Trauma Recovery Foundation and the International Children's Tumor Foundation under your name. They're very good and not easy."

Seeing her kindness, Su Xian gradually relaxed. Putting aside the halo from the outside world, the Queen Mother was actually very friendly.

"I didn't think too much when I founded it. I just felt sorry for the children when I saw the news and thought I could help as much as I could."

"Good boy, it's rare to have such a pure heart in the world of fame and fortune." Aunt Chen sighed softly, her tone becoming softer.

There are not many girls of her age who are so clear-headed. In addition, Su Xian has never used this matter as a marketing tool, and her name is not mentioned among the foundation's chairman and other senior executives.

There are two entrances to the small courtyard, and the wing on the right is the reception room and tea room.

Huo Li placed a piece on the chessboard.

"You're a little anxious about this." Chief Xu said.

"This is more convincing, isn't it?" Huo Li replied.

"Haha, it depends on whether you deserve it or not."

"My parents died in a plane crash 20 years ago, my uncle passed away 10 years ago, and a riot in a branch nearly overthrew the entire Huo family 5 years ago. I always felt that someone was behind all this. After investigating for so many years, I finally got some clues. My sixth uncle is the only breakthrough to the main branch of the Huo family. Those people will not let go of this opportunity."

Huo Li placed a black piece and said slowly: "I am also a chess piece on this chessboard."

"Now there are many people who agree with me and many who oppose me. Those who agree with me are not necessarily my allies. Sometimes they over-interpret my meaning and cause serious consequences. Those who oppose me are not necessarily my enemies. They can help me recognize my own shortcomings."

The boundaries between right and wrong may not be so clear.

Huo Li remained silent for a while before he said, "Commander, I win."

Chief Xu immediately laughed and scolded, "You little bastard, you are still so cunning!"

"Your move was on the right track, and I took advantage of the situation."

Chief Xu waved his hand, took out a document sealed in a brown paper bag and handed it to Huo Li.

"have a look."

Huo Li took it and tore open the seal.

Inside was Su Xian's identity investigation report. Judging from the date, it was only issued yesterday.

It was a thick stack, including some things about her childhood life in Shuzhou.

"Gao Ya?" Huo Li frowned slightly.

The kitten was only two or three months old when he picked it up. It was obvious that a baby of this age had no chance of survival if it was thrown into the deep mountains and forests.

He had never sent anyone to check her identity and background. Now that so many years had passed and the place was in a remote mountainous area, it was obvious that it would be very difficult to investigate. He originally thought that it would take a lot of time and that the people in the Investigation Department would be very powerful.

The kitten’s biological mother, Pan Caiyun, was born in a Yao village in the southern border of Yunzhou. She was only sixteen years old when she gave birth to her.

Less than half a year after she was born, her family arranged for her to get married in a hurry. Her husband was not only old but also disabled. After she got married, Pan Caiyun gave birth to six more children. The eldest girl is now an adult and is exactly eighteen years old.

The document recorded every detail of Pan Caiyun and the relationship between three generations. They were a typical mountain family and there was nothing noteworthy about them.

However, the column for father was completely blank, with only one name, Gao Ya.

The document said that when Pan Caiyun was sixteen years old, she was collecting herbs in the mountains and happened to rescue a man who fell off a cliff. The man called himself Gao Ya and was a lone hiker from Qinzhou.

He stayed in Pan Caiyun's home for several months to recuperate from his injuries. The man was good-looking, well-spoken, and humorous. He quickly won Pan Caiyun's heart during his recuperation. After the two had a relationship, Gao Ya disappeared for no reason one night without leaving a single word. The residents of the entire Yao village searched the surrounding mountains and only found a tattered coat on the trunk of the sacred tree. The people in the Yao village said that Gao Ya had crossed the sacred tree and entered the forbidden area, and was most likely dead, so they stopped looking for him. Since then, there has been no news of Gao Ya, and it is unknown whether he is dead or alive.

At this time, Pan Caiyun had discovered that she was pregnant. In that kind of mountain village, having a child out of wedlock was not tolerated in the world. Although Pan Caiyun stayed indoors, the villagers soon guessed the truth of the matter. Pan Caiyun endured the pointing and criticizing of others, and gave birth to the child despite the opposition of her family. She firmly believed that Gao Ya was not dead, but the child was born with congenital heart dysplasia.

For the sake of their daughter, Pan Caiyun's parents secretly stole the child one night and threw her into the deep mountains and forests. Pan Caiyun was also forcibly married to another village.

However, she had secretly hidden the tattered coat. Investigators extracted DNA from the coat and performed a genetic comparison to confirm the parent-child relationship.

However, the investigators could not find any trace of this man named Gao Ya, as if he had appeared out of nowhere. The investigators suspected that Gao Ya was using a pseudonym.

The brown paper file bag also contains information and photos of Pan Caiyun and her family, her current husband and children, and her husband's three generations.

Huo Li picked up the photo, which showed a typical village woman. Although her hard life had made her lose her beauty, her eyes and eyebrows still vaguely showed her extraordinary beauty when she was young.

Another 3D painted portrait was drawn based on the descriptions of Pan Caiyun, her family and villagers.

The man in the photo looks to be about 27 or 28 years old, with regular features, bright eyebrows and eyes. He looks sunny, cheerful, mature and charming. His eyes are shaped like peach blossoms, but judging from his eyes, Su Xian does look somewhat like him.

But...Huo Li's pupils shrank slightly.

"Does he look familiar?" Chief Xu asked. "Comrades from the Investigation Office suspect that Gao Ya is Lang Ta, the arms dealer wanted by countries around the world!"

Langta is active in the Central Continent. The Northern Continent Alliance calls him a "warmonger" and "Satan" and has repeatedly stated that Langta and his organization are "terrorists." Western Continent is of the same blood, and Southern Luanzhou has been dragged into it. The sovereign states of the Central Continent hate him even more. Only Eastern Continent has not made a statement on this matter.

The information shows that Langta happened to sneak into Yunzhou and pass through the border during that period.

Huo Li thought for a while and put down the information.

"Can you let me investigate this matter?"

Since it involves foreign forces, the Investigation Department cannot investigate further.

"If her biological father is really that arms dealer, what are you going to do?" Chief Xu asked seriously.

"If you want to threaten me with this, why not kill him!" Huo Li's brows were sharp and murderous.

Chief Xu looked at him sharply, and nodded slightly after a moment, "Go check it out."

"What about my marriage report?" Huo Li asked.

"Wait until you find out, don't worry."
